Report a Crime

Alcohol and Drug Prevention

Student Right to Know

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, otherwise known as the Clery Act, is a federal law that requires CNM to disclose information about campus crime. This law applies to crimes that occur on CNM campuses, property owned or controlled by CNM, public property (thoroughfares, streets, sidewalks, and parking areas) within or immediately adjacent to campus, and non-campus locations at which approved college activities are taking place.

In order to maintain compliance with the Clery Act, CNM employees have an obligation to report any occurred, in progress, or suspected criminal activity on or involving CNM property.

Contact the Security Department immediately at 224-3002 if you observe or have reported to you any crime listed below:

murder/non-negligent manslaughter

negligent manslaughter

sex offenses/sexual assault

robbery

aggravated assault

burglary

motor vehicle theft

arson

domestic/dating violence

stalking

liquor, drug, and weapons violations

In addition to the above crime categories, hate crimes for the following offenses must be reported:

larceny/theft

intimidation

simple assault

damage/destruction/vandalism of property

For reporting purposes, please assume that a hate crime is any crime proving that the victim was selected because of the victim’s actual or perceived race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, ethnicity/national origin, or disability.

If you are in doubt as to whether a crime is reportable, please err on the side of caution and report the incident. Please do not investigate the crime or attempt to determine whether a crime, in fact, took place—simply report the information. Crimes are to be reported regardless of whether the victim chooses to file a report with law enforcement or to press charges.

If you report an incident to the Dean of Students Office or another CNM department, it is imperative that the incident is also reported to the Security Department.

Thank you for your assistance in complying with this federal law. If you have any questions regarding reporting obligations, contact Mialma Gallegos at 224-4754.
